2513.1 This section rolls up all the actions included in the text of the Comprehensive Plan into an overall Action Plan (Table 25.1). The Action Plan includes:

1. The District agencies or other bodies that have the responsibilities for carrying out each Comprehensive Plan action (a list of agencies and abbreviations can be found in the glossary);
2. The recommended implementation time frame (see further explanation below); and
3. Those actions that will require capital funds for implementation.

2513.2 The recommended implementation time frame classifies actions as follows:

1. Ongoing actions are continuous activities that should be occurring now and on a regular basis into the future;
2. Immediate actions are actions that are about to commence;
3. Short-term actions are actions that should be initiated by the first or second year after adoption (Some short-term actions may take several years to complete.);
4. Mid-term actions should be initiated by the third or fourth year after adoption (Some mid-term actions may begin sooner, depending on funding and available staff resources.); and
5. Long-term actions include actions that may take many years to implement, and actions that may not begin until the fourth year after adoption due to funding and staff constraints or other factors.

2513.3 It is recognized that, when this Comprehensive Plan is adopted, there may not be complete agreement between the time frames set here and the District's approved CIP. Over time, a stronger link should be established so that the two documents are synchronized and eventually are in full agreement. Similarly, it should also be recognized that the actions listed in the Implementation Table (Table 25.1) should not be interpreted as budgetary mandates. The intent is to convey a roster of priorities that should guide the Mayor and D.C. Council as they develop, approve, and execute annual operating and capital budgets.

2513.4 As noted, Table 25.1 is a rollup of all the actions contained in the elements of this Comprehensive Plan.
